Hi! Nice, just discovered this topic. Maybe you can help me to find the right genres for my music.

First i listen to things like Hooverphonic, DJ Shadow, Unkle, Kid Loco, K&D, Massive Attack, Morcheeba, Archive, 2Raumwohnung, 4hero, Air, Tosca. I simply called it "Elektro", because "triphop" is too narrow in my opinion. But with elektro i'm not really happy as well.

Second i like artist like Ben Harper,Tom Waits, Ani Difranco, PJ Harvey and older stuff like Nick Drake, Donovan, Melanie, Joan Baez, Carole King. I called it "Songwriter".

Svlad. I had a remix CD of The Private Press called The Private Repress. That CD was bloody amazing. It came up missing though

I also like many flavors of Electronic: Depeche Mode, Pop Will Eat Itself, Front 242, The Chemical Brothers. I really like some newer stuff, too. Kasabian and The Bravery are some of my current favorites.

I'm a sucker for Industrial (Skinny Puppy), Goth (Sister of Mercy), Progressive Rock (Yes), Oldies (Mamas & Papas) and pretty much any good music that shows talent.

I'm a great fan of agressive and depressive music genres. I grew up listening to Punk Rock, Metal and Rock.
As i grew mature i've been exploring the electronic side of music. I often listen to Neurofunk, Darkstep, Electro and Hardstyle to stir things up but when i'm tired or have a headache i balance with New Age.

Now to what I do not like: 99.9% of hits from the radio / YouTube. Plus probably around 90% of what people not interested in scores somehow yet do know [correctly] as music [themes] from movies or TV series

So you listen all day to youtube and radio-stations in order to know what you don't like?

Nooo

I avoid them but they follow me all of my life

I once worked in an office. 2 of 7 persons wanted to turn off the radio, 2 persons did not give flying ffff about it but 3 listened it to [without being able of course to tell what was played 10 minutes ago]. And so I ended with a more private room with that 1 other person who did not listened to the radio- finally we had no radio, just silence for work

I once worked in a super-market in the storage room; where there was no radio and no one was advocating for it. Almost every time I had to go the main hall [where the customers were] I had to hold my vomit inside me; especially during the winter holidays when all that crap like "Last Christmas" by Wham! was constantly played

Now I work in home and listen to only what I like

Unfortunately you cannot separate yourself from what you do not like when you use public transport, take a taxi, go for shopping, go to the barber etc.

I never ever turn the radio on. As for YouTube, I very rarely click on some video with hundreds of millions of views- to check it out. Sine the start of YouTube only one song I liked that way; and few others were like OK but not to my taste. And the rest [of those hits] was for me more or less like "Do people really enjoy such kind of musical abomination?"
